After a 2023 season of struggles in the secondary, the Eagles used their top two picks on defensive backs, including DeJean in the second round, who made an immediate impact. With his help, Philly went from the 31st-ranked defense in passing yards allowed to No. 1, a turnaround that spearheaded its return to the playoffs. To cap off his impressive opening season, DeJean was responsible for one of the most viral and pivotal moments in Super Bowl LIX, intercepting Patrick Mahomes and returning it for a touchdown to put Philadelphia up 17-0 over the Kansas City Chiefs and kick off the blowout. Celebrating his birthday that day, DeJean's first NFL interception came on the biggest stage there is.

NFL Pro Insight for DeJean: Cooper DeJean allowed just 0.8 yards per coverage snap during the regular season, the fourth-fewest among slot cornerbacks and the fewest by a rookie slot corner since 2021 (minimum 250 coverage snaps).
Mr. “slot corner” a term that’s never been more gratuitously used except to describe DeJean, because we know a “white boy” cannot be a cornerback. Just like the “slot receiver” is a designation to marginalize White WR’s. Either way, DeJean is about to become a superstar.

Hmm. That is the first time I'm across the position of "slot receiver." Not all bad though. Might be a way to sneak more white players into the cornerback position.
 
Just wait for a next superstar DT, they will come up with something like slot tackle...
 

This is something I have found unsurprising but typical caste system. Living near philly I try and listen to as little dwf and sports radio clowns as possible for my sanity, but the constant consternation about the eagles lack of a cb opposite Mitchell is ridiculous. The obvious answer is to move Dejean to the outside in base and slot in nickel but literally nobody is even suggesting this! It’s like nobody wants to put forth the idea of a white player playing outside cb. Thankfully it has given me the opportunity to bring this up to a lot of blue pilled dwf. I say they are not giving Dejean the opportunity to play outside bc he is white, there is no other logical reason. He was arguably their defensive mvp last year when you look at the eagles defense once he was put into the lineup. The eagles not giving him any snaps outside has been so egregious I have gotten a more receptive response than usual when I bring up race and the caste system to normies
